Description
A replacement oven section for an existing Blodgett Zephaire-100-G-ES gas convection oven, natural gas or propane.
The Blodgett ZEPH-100-G-ES BASE is a standard-depth Zephaire-100-G-ES oven section without legs, which Blodgett intends as a replacement for the oven of an existing Zephaire-100-G-ES. It takes five 18" x 26" sheet pans and bakes at 200-500°F with direct-fired inshot burners and a two-speed 3/4 hp fan. It is ENERGY STAR qualified with a 54% cooking energy efficiency rating. Choose natural gas or liquid propane when you order; it is rated 45,000 BTU/hr and uses a 115V cord and plug for the fan and controls.

Direct-fired efficiency
Removable inshot burners fire directly into the cavity, with electronic spark ignition and a two-speed 3/4 hp blower; Blodgett rates it at 54% cooking energy efficiency.
Built square and tight
A fully welded angle-iron frame and triple-mounted pressure-lock doors keep the doors aligned and sealed after years of service.
Well insulated cavity
A 16-gauge liner porcelainized on both sides, a stainless combustion chamber and 2" of insulation (1" solid block plus 1" mineral fiber) keep heat in the oven.
Simple controls
The standard SSI-M control uses separate thermostat and timer dials; an SSD digital control with Cook & Hold and Pulse Plus is available as an option.
